GIT/Cogito usage is not about linux kernel only.
I actually try to work with a scenario for a project with a few developers,
where each one should have its branch(es) in the central repository. I think
this could be quite common among future GIT uses. I even would allow the few
developers to merge into the central master.

I also think it is quite confusing to have different branch names for the same
head in cloned repositories.
But I also think that Paskys scenario is real, where you want to pull branches
in 2 remote repositories with the same name.
So why not put the name of the remote repository into the local branch name?
A remote branch "host1:path#branch1" could be named "host1:path#branch1".
The shorthand specified with "cg-add-branch" would be a local alias, i.e.
(cd .git/refs/heads; ln -s host1:path#branch1 mylocalalias)
I even would find it handy to be able to say
cg-pull host1:path#branch1
, and
cg-push mylocalbranch host2:path#branch2
should create the alias "mylocalbranch"="host2:path#branch2"
and create a entry in .git/branches.
